Beginner about tts HOT 3 CLOSED

aws-tts is a Node.js command-line tool, so if you're not familiar with Node.js or the command line, there is a bit of a learning curve. However, it should be pretty easy to get up and running:

1. Download and install Node.js.
2. Download and install ffmpeg.
3. Configure your machine with your AWS credentials.
4. Go to the Windows menu and choose (or search for) "Node.js command prompt" under the Node.js section.
5. Run npm install aws-tts -g at the command prompt and wait for it to finish.
6. Now you can run aws-tts in the command prompt window. For example: aws-tts C:\Users\Eric\Documents\test.txt C:\Users\Eric\Documents\test.mp3. Here's an article on how to use the Windows command prompt; there are many others out there.

Does that make sense? I've tried to outline this in the README. Let me know if you're running into any problems or if any part is unclear. Also check the new Troubleshooting section in the README.

Thanks!

ffmpeg doesn't make it very easy, does it? I think I used these instructions to install ffmpeg on Windows -- follow those instructions and give it another try.
